Title: The MoistureMap Project

URL: http://moisturemap.unimelb.edu.au/

Description: Accurate knowledge of current and future spatial variation in surface and root zone soil moisture at high resolution is critical for achieving sustainable land and water management. The fundamental limitation is that spatial and temporal variation in soil moisture is not well known, nor easy to measure or predict. Consequently, a prototype soil moisture monitoring, prediction and reporting system is being developed for Australia, with the Murrumbidgee as the demonstration catchment. The system will provide current and future soil moisture information and its uncertainty at 1km resolution, by combining weather, climate and land surface model predictions with soil moisture data from the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite scheduled for launch in the second half of 2009; the first-ever dedicated microwave soil moisture mission. A significant component of this project is developing and testing the soil moisture retrieval algorithms to be used by SMOS and verifying the SMOS data for Australian conditions.

Title: International Federation of Operational Research Societies - on-line tutorial system for Operations Research and Management Science

URL: http://www.ifors.ms.unimelb.edu.au/

Description: The objective of this project is to develop, over the next three years, a comprehensive web-based on-line tutorial system for Operations Research (OR) and Management Science topics. The project is a special initiative of IFORS Educational Resources Committee and is intended to be an international collaborative effort with participants from all the OR National Societies. It was inspired by tutoR and in headed by Moshe Sniedovich.

Title: Welcome to tutOR

URL: http://www.tutor.ms.unimelb.edu.au/

Description: The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive, web-based on-line tutorial system for Operations Research (OR). In practical terms this is translated into three kinds of activities: Development of tutorial modules for specific OR topics, development of generic web tools to facilitate the construction of the OR modules and research of the WWW technologies pertaining to this project.

Title: WORMS - World Wide Web for Operations Research and Management Science

URL: http://www.worms.ms.unimelb.edu.au/

Description: WORMS is a grass-roots WWW site, that I established in the early days of the WWW (1995) as a natural extension of my personal home page. Its main purpose was to complement the formal On-Line activities of OR/MS Societies world-wide. You'll recall that at that time not much was offered by the national OR/MS societies. Clearly, the situation is much different now! The large national OR societies (eg INFORMS, ORS) and the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) offer a wide spectrum of services to members and to the public at large.
